Angels' Jo-Jo Reyes earns win in first majors appearance in four years

Jo-Jo Reyes was three weeks into his off-season when he got a call from an unknown number last weekend.

"I saw a Massachusetts number and said, 'Who's this?'" said Reyes, a journeyman left-hander who hadn't pitched since the triple-A season ended on Sept. 7. "I thought it was a telemarketer, and I wasn't going to answer it."

It was Angels Assistant General Manager Matt Klentak telling Reyes to come to Anaheim for a workout. Reyes, who pitched two years in Korea and the first half of this season in Mexico, threw in the bullpen and was added to the roster Wednesday.
